Dear Estate Agent,

House hunting is hard. Being first time buyers is hard. Trawling through property websites and estate agents' lists for something suitable is boring and hard.

You are not helping.

No love,

Me

The reason for this letter? I was doing one of my regular hunts for property websites that aren't Rightmove and stumbled across some interesting things. There were the usual houses in terrible areas, and terrible houses in good areas. All fine and dandy, you might think.

Under the cut is what one agent is selling for £120,000 as a bungalow.





I KID YOU NOT. Click the picture for the full details.

SRSLY. IDEK.

It is ridiculous at the moment, but believe it or not, I'm looking at those prices and thinking "not too bad". In my part of Oxford, the cheapest 1 bedroom flat is the equivalent of $250,000. Just the cheapest flat in any part of Oxford is almost $200,000 :S

So I'd believe every word you told me! We're incredibly lucky for various reasons (not all of them good), but if you don't have a decent deposit, you just can't get on the market here at all.

Yeah, everything that isn't crap starts at around $250,000. Good luck.
